Junction Road, London, N19

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

We have lived in Vantage Point for over 5 years now and honestly its the best! We even tried to move out at one point and came straight back! The area does have some work to be done with the "locals" but apart from that, the transport is superb (literally above northern line) there are so many supermarkets within a 20 meter radius and every Saturday there's a delightful market just outside in navigator square. The only negative is the constant ambulance and police sirens when the windows are open, but if you can oversee that, its perfect!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Always promptly and with the utmost care. Everything was dealt within 24 hours.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Always enquire directly with building letting agency rather than outside as there's always hidden gem apartments available. We got ours right when we needed it the most simply by picking up the phone.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Local shops, grocers, and transit links make this development convenient and well connected. However, the area tends to be noisy at night between the hospital close by, busy roads, and taverns and clubs.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management always deals with issues quite promptly and is always friendly. The only recurring issue which seems to be an ongoing problem is the trash chute not working.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known more about the specific area as it’s quite loud and busy more often than not & has a decent amount of homeless activity.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The building is built right above Archway tube station and within two minutes of four grocery stores, which is incredibly convenient. There are some decent restaurants, pubs, and bakeries around, mixed with kebab stands and some lower end shops. The area itself is quite green and while the building is directly over a very busy area, the traffic and noise feels more vibrant than tiresome.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Somewhat, we've had a few minor issues with the refuge shoot that have not yet been fixed and some unfixable features with the hood and bathroom exhaust systems. Otherwise it all works well.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Moving in with a large moving truck is painful. There is a very long corridor with two lifts and the building will not privatise them during move-in, meaning it takes an inordinately long time to move in with any furniture.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Next to the tube station; close proximity to a good selection of shops; Antisocial behaviours in the evening; lack communal activities

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

On maintenance issues, fairly professional On checking in as a new tenant, poorly coordinated and highly defensive behaviours

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Discussion about the procedures is not welcomed and sometimes met with aggression.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Lots of nice food places, supermarkets, but living above the northern line is the best. Makes getting to most parts of London reasonable.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes -they’re reponded very quickly and consistently thereafter

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It’s very much like a town centre - it’s very busy a lot of the time.
